About Sakai
Sakai Heavy Industries is a Japanese maker of compaction equipment. In North America, Sakai America sells asphalt rollers and soil compactors and emphasizes simple, durable engineering such as long-life isolators, gear-driven oscillation, thicker frames and drums, and heavy-duty center hitches.
Sakai equipment on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes Sakai compactors such as the SW850 tandem roller. Sakai rollers are used by paving contractors, road builders and municipalities, typically as part of a paving spread behind an asphalt paver.
How lenders view Sakai rollers
Rollers are usually financed with other paving equipment. Lenders review hours, drum condition, the vibration or oscillation system and the paving contracts behind the purchase. Because paving stops in winter in much of Canada and the northern USA, lenders also look at how the business handles the off-season.
Financing Sakai equipment
A paving spread can often be financed as one deal, and some lenders offer seasonal payments. Dealer programs and independent lenders can both be compared, especially for used rollers and mixed-brand spreads.
How Sakai equipment financing works
Most Sakai purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Sakai equipment we help finance
Financing Sakai compactors
Compactors and rollers are financed by paving, road-building and site contractors. Lenders look at drum type, hours and the contracts the machine supports. These units are often financed as part of a paving or earthworks spread, so financing several machines together is common.
Sakai compactors on our eligible equipment list include Sakai SW850 Compactor.
What lenders check on a Sakai compactor
Lenders look at machine hours, service records, undercarriage or tire condition, and whether the unit is tied to contracts or a steady work program. Used machines with strong resale demand are usually easier to finance than specialized units.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and hours, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Sakai equipment
In Canada, power-operated movable equipment used to excavate, move, place or compact earth, rock, concrete or asphalt generally falls in CCA Class 38. Confirm the class for your exact asset with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
